E mu, m m m: Some Adyentures in Economlcal Cooking That, noted domestic science expert, Barbara. B. Brocks, has sent The Ad- vance a very timely article headed, “Adventures in Economy,” and, particu- larly appropriate in its idea. in regard to keeping down the cost but keeping up the quality of food in the home. The writer gives several helpful recipes and a little talk that should also be of value at this time. The article by Barbara. B. Brooks is as follows:-â€"-â€" Domestic Science Expert Writes Help- ful Article Designed to Assist Those who have to Study Economy To-day. Like the youth who set out into the world to seek his fortune with a knap- sack over his shoulder and a few coins :11 his pocket, so a housewife sets out to the grocery store to seek health and nourishment for her family with a market basket over her arm and a few coins in her purse. Lowered budgets are a challenge to her, ingenuity for it takes careful planning and clever manipulation to arrange wholesome, but attractive meals when dollars are scarce. Our adventuress must cheese wisely as she ' ponders before the art- tractive arrays of fruits. vegetables and canned goods, arranged by the-grocer to intrigue ‘the purchaser’s appetite, for her coins must buy the maximum food value. 110 Pine Street South From the standpoint of food value fruits and vegetables are almost iden- tical, so when fruits are expensive, vegetables may be made to serve double duty. Tomatces may take the place of oranges, for infants or adults. Raw cabbage is as high in vitamins as or- anges and onions, turnips, parsnips, and carrots are all excellent sources of food value and minerals. Dried fruits, peas and beans are as ncurishing as Lfresh ones and are. usu- ally cheaper. Also. they cost less in bulk than in fancy packaged varieties. When they are used, care should be taken to supply bulk in the form of whole grain cereals and the cheaper raw vegetables. Bananas are one of our most nutritious fruits and when fully ripe, are easily digested by old and young. bulk and are especially necessary when the amount of freSh fruits and vegetables has to be decreased. money invested. Whole cereals are also a saurce of minerals, vitamins and Having spent wisely, our housewife must contrive cleverly to prepare her inexpensive meals so they will be at- tractive to her family. They can be a. great success if she cheerfully treats them as an adventure in living. The fcllowing recipw may give her some different ideas for serving economical fc ads: For baking onions, choose a large mild flavoured variety. Cut. the onions in half crosswise and simmer in slight- 1y salted water until about half done. Lift the onions out and arrange in a baking dish (if they do not stand up easily, they may be baked in mm tins). Remove the centres without disturbing the outer layers. Chop the onion centres and add to the stuffing described below. Fill the onion shells with this mixture, cover and bake in a moderate oven for about one-half hour. or until the onions are tender. Re- move the cover from the baking dish during the last of the cooking so that the onions will brown well on top. Baked Onions Melt the butter in a frying pan, add the ’celery and onion, and cook for 2 or 3 minutes. Add the ground meat. and stir until the juice evaporates and the meat browns slightly. Then add the corn flakes and seasonings and stir. until well inixed. " Carrot or Parsnip Fritters People who do not ordinarily eat carrots or parsnips, rwiil relish them prepared in this manner. ! To two cups of «boiled carrots or pars- nips, "mashed or put through a colan- Eder. add two well beaten eggs and two tablespoons of corn flakes. Mix thor- [oughly and dmp from a spoon into hot "butter; olive oil or other fat; and fry until nicely brown.

QNTARIO Romantic Figure Elected to Brantford Mayoralty “Once more Morris Mann McBride, printer, is mayor of the city of Brant- ford, defeating James D. Ansel, musi- cian. Mr. McBride is a Renfrew coun- ty product, a native of White Lake and for several years a. resident of Arnprior. Mr. McBride issued an address to the electors unique in character, speaking of himself as “the man who looks you straight in the face and tells you the truth.” He also said, “We need men with transcendent powers of expression who can command the language of in- spiration and fire the imagination of mankind with a new spirit and a new hope.” How could a mere musician hope to win against a candidate of that calibre? Mr. McBride appealed strong- ly to “the common people,” talked ”of human rights as against the forces or wealth and power, and felt it high time that the brains of the nation and the hearts of the nation were aroused to action. He asked that the electors prove themselves worthy sons and daughters of Canada and worthy heirs to the great traditions of liberty and justice upon which the British Com- monwealth of the nations was founded, thus appealing to ‘both Conservatives and Radicals. Mr. McBride also made appeal to the electorate through cam- ipaign songs. At one time he sat in the Ontario Legislature as a Labour member. Mr. Ansell can now hide his diminished head.” Thos-e who had the pleasure of meet. in; M. M. McBride during his visits to the North in some of the election contests of past years will be interest- ed in the following editorial paragraph in The Renfrew Mercury last week. The Mercury says:â€" There are all sorts of stories about gold being found on the streets of Tim-twins. At the time of the pave- ment was put down on some of the main streets some of this sort of story found its way to some of the outside newspapers and, perhaps, created a lit- tle interest and, perhaps, not. It should 'be quite reasonable to expect to find some gold on some of the streets here as there was a time when waste rcck from the mines was used for road- building purposes in town and it would be an odd thing if no gold- was pres- ent in any of that rock. At the same time there is little likelihood Cif gold being found in any aggreciable quanti- ty in any such rock, so the fact that some might be found is more interest- ing than important. In a gold camp anything may happen, and gold: is where you find it, but nevertheless there will be more gold found in the nflnes than on the wads, even in Tim- DIGGING GOLD OUT OF THE BASEMENT OF HIS HOUSE mins. All this is but an introduction to the following from The Huq'tmgdon Gleaner:â€" How would you like to dig gold out of your own basement? R. F. “Dick" Cor-less, Cariboo prospector. is doing this right along while digging out the basement of his headquarters cabin on a group of 16 claims on Skaret Creek, British Columbia. He was a visitor at Edmonton to buy supplies for the win- ter. “We sank test-moles all over the ocuntry there to try and find an old creek bed where we thought the‘ gold-- bearing gravel ought to be,” said Gor- lcss. “There was nothing on Skaret creek ltself. After some prospecting amund and sinking test holes here and there, we managed to get 3034 show- ings and decided to stick to the-claims.

Our long experience is that the most satisfactory way for menu-- facturers to “correct public psychology” ' is through the commercial display ad- vertising space cf the daily newspapers, . where the people have learned to look for “business facts” that justify them spending their money. It is perfectly true that “newspapers are the natural leaders of public psychology, ” but the display advertising space is a more im- portant factor in that leadership than is “free publicity” which fills the waste- paper baskets of the efficient news- paper business omces. PAID ADVERTISING THE WAY TO REACH THE PEOPLE Doctors in the North , Give Notable Service Does the public in general in the North ever stop to think how much they owe the doctors of this country? The Advance hastens to say that the above question has nothing to do with the money accounts owing to the doc- tors of the North. Those accounts may be’ collected, or wiped off the books as hopeless, but the gratitude and ap- proval due the doctOrs for the way they have done their duty to the people i deserves at least attention and ap-- preciation. A doctor's, life is a busyi one and a difficult one anywhere, but! it is especially so in the North. Some may recall the number of doctors in Timmins and district who have been forced to temporary retirement from their profession because of the strain and stress of duty. In few other pro- fessions or callings is there such a de- mand upon the strength and time. The “Roving Reporter” in The Norâ€" thern News last week gives one case that is more or less an ordinary one to the average doctor. It could ‘be duplicated many times from the case books of the average doctor in any of the centres of the North. Neelands one bitterly cold week-end recently. It came from Matheson and the physician made arrangements with George W. Lee, chairman of the T. at N. 0. railway, to catch the unbound paper train from Swastika at 4 am. It was Sunday morning and the train was late. Dr. Neelands found the depot locked up tight and Was forced to walk about to keep from freezing. He eventually found a nook out of the mind. where it seemed warmer. and must have lapsed into“ semi-«madma- nees, for when the train finally arrived thetreincrewdiscoveredhimine stupor and it was all or three Mm below he was able to get thew out and in shape to use his in- etrumentsonayounggirlfliow suffering from a ruptured W 'Ilhe “Roving Reporter" says: â€"“A doctor’s life is no easy one. He is at the beck and call of suffering humanity day and nght, winter and summer, and in fair weather and 'foul. And this is, perhaps, more true in the scattered settlements of the North Country than in old Ontario, where the roads can be travelled the year round and where communities are but a few miles apart. The willingness of the Northern Ontario physician to answer calls is prd’verbal. A case in grippe as the aftermath othh expert: perwheauleandthelfidayom‘xg About British Capital and the Canadian Mines The following is an editorial from The Toronto Mail and Empire of Fri- day of last week:â€" The Northern Mine-r has been inter- viewing Hon. G. Howard Ferguson re- garding the attitude of British inves- tors towards Canadian mines; It pointed out to him that only about 22. per cut. of the money mvesred in our gzdd mines originates in Britain. It queried the High Commissioner as to Mr. Ferguson‘s reply was that there have been no‘pubiic issues otoanadzlan Government securities in London since before the war; that such issues when they are brought out tend to centre the interest of British investors on the countries making the issues; and that in the absence of such issues Canada nfisses a great deal of valuable adver- tising. Another reason for the non- investment of much British money in this country lately is to be found in the heavy losses suffered -by British investors through unsound get-rich- quick schemes in this country. the reason for this situation, and ask- ed him what could be done about it, and what was the prospect for the fu- Fortunately, however, in the view of the High Ocnmflsszioner, the trend of inquiry in Great Britain has been to- wards this country during the last few months. This development was en- couraged by the preparations made for the Imperial Conference and by the ac- tual sessions of that conference at Ot- tmwa. At any rate, Mr. Ferguson forecasts an increased flow of British capital into our gold.- mines, partly ‘be- cause good gold mines are one of the saundest investments to be found in the world to-day. In face of the depres- sion they keep earning dividends and rising in value. Mr. Ferguson is quot- ed as saying: “I am glad to say that I can see a very appreciable change of attitude gradually developing. I think the Imperial Conference has helped a great deal. It has centred the minds cf the business public here upon Can- ada and led to a great deal of discus- :5 on that must result in intelligent un- derstanding. It brought hundreds of business executives to Canada. I am constantly being surprised in meeting business men to learn that their month in Canada this summer was a revela- tion. They are beginning to talk about our mines and their permanency, as an opportunity for investment.” Also the pound is worth more here than in the United States. The High Commissioner closes his statement with a reference to the great impetus that wil be given to mining in Northern Ontario when low-priced power is available for the operation of low-grade mineral deposits, as it will be under the Abitihi scheme. He is quoted as saying that the permanency of the established when we get cheap power in the North Country. “I sought to do that for years and felt I had solved the pmlem when I induced Abttibi people to undertake the Canyon deveIOpment. He did not believe the Ablt‘abl under- taking would cost the provlnclal treas- ury a cent but if it did. it would be money well invested. g§§$§¥§X§YX§X~s§Y§Yqux§¢ Saturday Evemng, December 17th Commutatatam, Admissionâ€"~50c Moose Hall, Thnmins I CORN ISH SOCIAL CLUB DANCE Steven’s Amusemenfi Parlours Phone 280 Timmins, Ontario ?
